## Resource

The Milwaukee Brewers continue to struggle with runners in scoring position and lost starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff yet again with more complications from his balky right shoulder, but the wins kept coming in during a 5-2 week. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe dive into the loss of Woodruff, Garrett Mitchell's remarkable week, more great work from the pitching staff, including a bullpen in flux, Joey Ortiz finding some success, a Cooper Pratt progress report and a look at the Brewers representatives at the upcoming all-star game (and the snubs). Also, does anyone know what the "can't block the plate" rule actually looks like? In Three Up Three Down (30:10), Aaron Ashby gets yet another win, Ortiz has a moment in the sun, home-run robberies galore and a scoring decision that looms large for Jacob Misiorowski. In Remembrew When (47:30), JR looks back at an all-time pitcher's duel back in 1963. In Todd's Take of the Week (53:15), they look ahead to this week's draft. Then, we hear a chat between Curt Hogg and Brewers prospect Frank Cairone (1:00:20), who was seriously injured in a car accident in early January but has bounced back to make his first professional appearance in early July for the Arizona rookie-league team.
